MARDAN – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Aman Jirga Chairman, Syed Kamal Shah Saturday said the law and order situation of the home district of Chief Minister Ameer Haider Khan Hoti and police chief Akbar Khan Hoti was worsening day by day, but they closed their eyes.

He added that Sardar Mahtab Abbasi, Aftab Ahmed Khan Shephao, Pir Sabir Shah, Akram Khan Durani also remained Chief Minister of the province but during their government law and order situation of their home district was ideal.

He said that Ameer Haider Khan is Chief Minister but the law and order situation of his home district is bad.

He added that after one month this corrupt government will come to an end and accountability will be made of these corrupt people.
